I said this at the end of an e-mail I just sent to the team about paying for Portland. Don't know why, but I guess I wanted to end on a positive note:

"One final note to all rookies: the regional competitions are absolutely incredible and it is hard not to have a good time. However, don't go in with a win-at-all-cost mindset; focus on having fun and that will make your team way cooler than if you just focus on winning all the time."

"As opposed to a weld, it could be a rivet"

We never got an answer, but his face light up quite a bit.

"Lunch break!" *pulls fruit cup out of his pocket*
It was 8pm.

"I don't fail at computers, computers fail with me!"

"Culture, torture, it's almost the same thing"

"Old McDonald had a farm, e-i-e-i-o...And on that farm there was a Kara, e-i-e-i-o...With a rule G6 here and a rule G7 there, here a rule, there a rule, everywhere some more rules...uhh...e-i-e-i-o!"
My co-captain is very interesting, to say the least.

"That's more better"

"Well, there's the problem" *holds up one end of a disconnected PWM*
"I'm not sure if that's a programming or a mechanical problem"
"It's a 'You need a longer PWM problem'"

"WHAT!? You mean I have to use TRIG!?"

"And so, when we are in Autonomous mode, we are in the..Autonomous()...function. And our while loop depends on IsAutonomous(), which returns whether it...is autonomous or not. Make sense?"

"We'll have to wear coats with ice blocks underneath, we start melting when it gets above 32F."

"Won't anybody think of the moon dolphins?!"

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season
 

wow that is probably the worst part of working with 8020. everything seems to fit together, you slide a t-nut into a 50" long piece, and it falls all the way down past several objects which will later cause trouble in retrieving it. GAH

Newb-"Don't question this wisdom of Mr. Ray"
and from across our lab, I replyed " Don't question anything of Ray!"


And another one just happened today, my boyfriend was asking me if I can hang out tomorrow;

Him- Can you hang out tomorrow?
Me- I live in a world of communist robots, I have to ask their permission to do anything outside of robotics.
